Speech Title: “Building a Critical Mineral Hubs in North America”

Mark Chalmers will discuss the strategic importance of reimagining traditional ‘western’ business models in the critical minerals industry that have struggled to compete globally and move toward more innovative materials networks to produce sustainable, low-cost supply chains for advanced resources needed for the energy transition. His address will focus on Energy Fuels’ approach to integrating rare earth elements production into its foundational uranium business, positioning the company as a critical minerals’ leader in the United States.

Mr. Chalmers will also highlight the company’s innovative Phase 1 circuit expansion at the White Mesa Mill in Utah, which is the only operating conventional uranium mill in the U.S. and completing commissioning of commercial separation of ‘on-spec’ rare earth elements (REEs). “We are leveraging our 40+ years of relevant expertise in processing naturally radioactive materials to set the stage for a new type of critical mineral supply chain model in North America,” Chalmers stated. “We have the infrastructure, know-how, and licenses to recover uranium and other radionuclides, REEs, vanadium, and even medical isotopes, providing us with diversification, and therefore a competitive advantage, in monetizing critical elements.”

Introductory Speaker: Debra Bennethum

Debra Bennethum will deliver introductory remarks from 12:15 to 12:25 PM. With extensive experience at GM, Debra played a crucial role ensuring resilient EV critical mineral supply chains. Her insights will set the context for discussions on the strategic investments and partnerships necessary for advancing global supply chains related to key critical minerals.
